Who We Are <ul><li>Sustainable Carbon is a co-developer of greenhouse gas emission (GHG) reductions projects for the carbon market. We only develop and promote projects that are fully additional and contribute to comprehensive sustainable development. We are: </li></ul><ul><li>Experts in “earth” carbon – biomass, REDD, forestry and fuel-switching </li></ul><ul><li>The leading project developer in terms of the number of VCS and SOCIALCARBON ® -validated projects on the Markit ® Environmental Registry </li></ul><ul><li>Expanding our geographic scope in South America, North America and Africa </li></ul>

9.
Carbon Credits <ul><li>What is a carbon credit? </li></ul><ul><ul><li>A certification that one ton of CO2e was prevented from entering the atmosphere as a result of projects, such as Sustainable Carbon’s. </li></ul></ul><ul><li>How can you use it? </li></ul><ul><ul><li>Be integrated within a business’ climate change mitigation strategy. </li></ul></ul><ul><ul><li>An excellent way to neutralize unavoidable emissions. </li></ul></ul><ul><ul><li>Link credits to the environmental footprint of products = CO 2 NEUTRALITY </li></ul></ul>

Our Carbon Credits Sustainable Carbon uses the Voluntary Carbon Standard (VCS) and the SOCIALCARBON ® Standard in all of its voluntary projects. A standard is a recognized methodology to check project performance and quality . <ul><li>The VCS is based on ISO principles and is the most used carbon-accounting standard in the voluntary market. </li></ul><ul><li>The SOCIALCARBON ® Standard is an internationally-used standard that has been rated as a Co-Benefit Standard of Best-Practice by ICROA. </li></ul><ul><li>The Standard provides the framework by which six aspects of sustainability are t ransparently assessed over the project’s lifetime, with continual improvement as the goal. </li></ul>

Exemplary Project: Lucevans <ul><li>Lucevans ceramic is a small business in São Paulo state, Brazil that produces bricks and roof tiles for the local construction industry. </li></ul><ul><li>Before switching to renewable biomass, the factory used old-growth timber sourced from the Cerrado ecosystem, contributing to deforestation and threatening the Cerrado’s renowned biodiversity. </li></ul><ul><li>Over the course of 10 years, 85,031 tons of CO 2 equivalents will be reduced. </li></ul>

17.
Transparency: Markit™ Environmental Registry <ul><li>Sustainable Carbon uses the Markit™ Environmental Registry. </li></ul><ul><li>It is a public registry where anyone can see see any aspect about our projects </li></ul>When projects are validated and credits are verified, you can freely view information such as: Year in which the credits/units were produced VINTAGE Serial number attached to project to prevent double-counting PROJECT Who developed the project and/or who owns the credits DEVELOPER What standards did the developer ascribe to the project STANDARDS Which UN-accredited agency verified the project DOE Public access to all documents relating to the project DOCUMENTS TRANSPARENCY

18.
Credibility: Markit™ Environmental Registry When you buy the credits and neutralize your emissions, you can prove it to your stakeholders : Date on which the credits were bought and “retired” to neutralize your emissions RETIREMENT Links you the buyer with the project PROJECT Shows who managed the transaction HOLDER Stakeholders can see and judge robustness of standards used STANDARDS Clearly shows that you bought the credits REMARKS Proves that you neutralized the number of tons claimed in your CSR Report QUANTITY CREDIBILITY

Sustainable Carbon Credits <ul><li>Premium Credits: </li></ul><ul><ul><li>The added SOCIALCARBON® Standard to our projects means that truly substantial social, environmental and economic benefits are sustainably brought to tens of small communities throughout South America. </li></ul></ul><ul><li>Guaranteed Neutralization: </li></ul><ul><ul><li>The carbon credits we sell have already been generated and independently verified by one of two UN-accredited agencies called Designated Operating Entities (DOEs). </li></ul></ul><ul><li>Lower Risk: </li></ul><ul><ul><li>Projects with two standards means twice the number of validation and verification procedures audited by DOEs ensuring the credits exist, the biomass is sustainably sourced and socioenvironmental goals are being achieved (among other aspects). </li></ul></ul><ul><li>Transparent: </li></ul><ul><ul><li>Our credits are listed on the Markit ® Registry where anyone can see any aspect about our credits, from project documents to who bought or “retired” the credits. </li></ul></ul>
